    I could, because I found it in the first result from a single Google search, but I'm not going to.

    To be fair, you have only just registered as a user, with 2 threads asking for help. Then get all sarky when you dont get the answer you want. Alot of the people on Hexus have been here for a while, and in some cases know each other in real life as well. All to often people sign up and either spam the forum, or ask for help, then once they've got there answer bugger off. I hope this isnt the case, stick around you might like it

    Have you tried googling it first? (I'm really not trying to take the biscuit I was just wondering.)

    The reason I'm not going to tell you is that, even if it is widely done and easily implemented into the firmware by several manufacturers, Toshiba in particular, it is decidedly dodgy legal territory. [Edit: Although apparently I am wrong in this understanding. My mistake.]

    Seriously, though, Google it. If in doubt, Google it.

    I did. No results and hence the post. I am new to the community but seriously do people expect that people don't self google before posting for help. It seems that my post for help has drawn more people wondering why I posted rather than actually drwaing on existing knowledge. If this is an illegal request then why not just say so!

    On behalf of Hexus, I'd personall like to apologise mate. This is so NOT the attitiude we like to foster here on the forums. We pride ourselves on our friendliness & helpfulnss to EVERYONE! I'm sorry you had to suffer this as your initial experience, I do hope his doesn't totally disuade you from comming back.

    And to all above, no matter how you percieve the question, the first law of Hexus is Help when needed should be forthcoming at ALL times. This request was a plain & pertinent request for help in a perfectly legal action as far as we are concerned. We are (the mod team) collectively ashamed.

    OK, if we're certain it's legal:

    Like I said, first result of my first Google search.

    It is true that many requests could be answered by careful googling, but that is no excuse for the offhand treatment you received. I hope that the links that have been posted solved your problem, and that you will remain a valued member of the Hexus community. I look forward to 'seeing' you on on the various fora that Hexus offers.
